Jimmy & I were classmates "back in the day". After school days I lost track of him for many years, so it was good to see him at our 50th, and later, class reunions. I liked Jimmy a lot. I was glad to know that he lived a good life with a wonderful wife and family. My sympathy goes out to them, and to all who knew him. To know Jimmy was to love him. God knew him, and now they can share their love for each other. To the family I say, "Remember the good times, and smile." I think Jimmy would want you to do that. For me, I was an honor to know him, and to renew our friendship at the reunions.
